hmmmmmmm a potato? Stale bread to freshen it up? Our electricity is included with rent so if I'm freezing i will put it on with no remorse lol

We own our house... sometimes I see the pros to renting though! Like, if my heater broke when I was renting, I could call the landlord to fix it. (And luckily it's gas-powered, I'm pretty sure that's a lot cheaper to run.)

Ohhh, I've been wanting scalloped potatoes since you ladies were talking about it a lot lately, and my husband did just bring home two gallons of milk last night. Yup, that's what I'm making.

I want to try my own take on a recipe that's on the Bisquick box for breaded chicken strips too. The chicken is thawing in warm water in the sink right now. Totally forgot to get any meat out. I keep doing that until way late in the day and then I end up not making anything worthwhile for dinner. Last night I made macaroni salad with "medium shells" instead of macaroni and absolutely nothing in it except mayo, mustard, and spices. I liked it at first but on my last bite I got suuuper nauseous.

So I guess Alfredo will be for tomorrow... then I'll have to find something to bake tomorrow too! Maybe cookies!

I hate renting it sucks, the people upstairs are quiet enough but the house is made badly and you can hear the dog walk across the floor, they only moved in last week and on the first day i was so pi$$ed off i went up to let them know the noise was a no go...kinda felt bad but i was trying to lay down and just snapped.. eek

I have no idea why but this week the thoughts of cooking has been nightmarish lol i think i cooked twice and we ate leftovers and sandwiches on the other days, thankfully he is out all day so i can just throw my potpie in the oven and eat that...

I'll get back on track in the new week, i love Alfredo and have two jars of the sauce i refuse to make it from scratch so i'll do that next week.. And also the scalloped potatoes.... Yummy..

No cooking tonight. Rather, a delicious meal from our favorite Slovak restaurantier who's very talented wife [not some Mexicans] whips up the delicacies herself! My wife had trout with red cabbage and potatoes and I had Vlaky salat [a cold cut/cheese/veggie/mayo concoction] as an appetizer and pork/cabbage/dumplings for the main course. We split an order of buchty for dessert [dumplings stuffed with prune jam and covered with chocolate syrup and cinnimon/butter sauce]. Red wine for me lady and................you guessed it: Staropramen for moir!

As a "on the house" side we also had some delicious pomazanka, a butter and cheese spread with scallions and other spices with bread.

Got a good recipe for kolachke? My grandmother never made it because we bought it from a woman in the parish, but she is no longer with us and apparently neither is her recipe.

No actually. Kolachke [for the others who don't know] is a bialy type cake which usually has Czech cottage cheese, prune jam or poppy seed mush in the center part. I was never a fan of this because I don't like Czech cottage cheese and I especially can't stand that poppy seed mush. When it comes to Czech pastries I always went for the apple strudel or buchty. Czech buchty is different than the Slovak dish I previously described. Czech buchty is more like little prune jam filled donuts.

On second thought though there are Czech cookbooks around here and one of them is in English......

I'm baking a pork roast for my husband. I was saving it for when he had a hard day at work, as a pick-me-up, but we had a little argument when he got home today. I decided to go ahead and make it as a way to say "I'm sorry".
